To all those who read this post, greetings. My name is Kenitoh, long time Pokémon fan and part time fanfic writer. Started with the series back when it first came out in 1998 (damn I feel old now) and when others fell away from the franchise, I stayed with it because I love it so much. Pokémon has guided through some very difficult moments in life. While I had a relatively stable family life (no divorce or anything like that) my school life was absolutely wretched. Bullies, awful teachers, zero support of any description and the fact I was treated like an outsider because of an (at the time) undiagnosed learning difficulty, it made me just want it all to end. The only thing I had was my video games and Pokémon. It kept me going when times were tough and helped me become a better person through all the series has taught me, through the games, the movies and the anime. Now that I am here at Lake Valor, I hope to make some friends, write some stories and talk about these games I hold so dearly. Thank you for reading Kenitoh

Greetings from space! Please, make yourself at home here. We welcome anyone that doesn't track mud inside the house, because that's very frustrating to have to clean up. Also, don't steal any cheese out of the fridge. It's not that the cheese belongs to anybody - it's actually just a trap waiting to catch the unsuspecting. Now then, enjoy yourself. If you need your help finding away around, always feel free to ask.
Heyo, welcome to Lake Valor! I have been playing since 1999, so you are in good company ( am I old now too?).

I'm so sorry to hear about your rough school life! But it seems like it made you a stronger person, so in a way it was a good learning experience and I'm sure you're a bit tougher now =) Welcome to LV Kenitoh, it is lovely to have such a big Pokémon fan around. <3
Wait...I know your fanfiction. You created the NewPerspectiverse. I will always respect you for that. Also, welcome! Hope you enjoy LV! Also, sorry, I'm Australian.
Welcome from the US! I started back when Pokémon came to the West as well, so you're in good company. ; Sorry you had to endure that as well. Middle school was hell for me too (though I'll admit, school-wise high-school got better though I did have to deal with divorce), and I'm glad you were able to get past that part of your life. Anyway, I hope you enjoy everything that LV has to offer!
